'''Macroevolution''' is a distinction made by Creationists that separates the change of certain characteristics of a species, from the changes that [[natural selection]], [[mutation]]s, and genetic drift can, given enough time, lead to the creation of new groups of organisms consisting of a single common ancestor and all the descendants of that ancestor (see [[Clade]]s). Modern biologists do not make a distinction between microevolution and macroevolution, but instead group it under the general theory of Evolution. The rationale for this is that the change of characteristics inside a species is the primary factor in the definition of a species, thus invalidating an absolute description of species, but instead rendering all members in a species to follow a bell curve of differentiation, thus allowing the rise of a new species.

Some prominent modern biologists have made a distinction between microevolution and macroevolution (see quotes of prominent evolutionists below).

The term macroevolution is often hated by militant evolutionists (especially evolutionist poseurs who knew that evolution is lie and an ill attempted escape from biblical authority) because they are unable to demonstrate that macroevolution occurred nor are they able answer the reasonable objections/questions posed to them by [[Young earth creatonism|biblical creationist]] (for example, the 15 questions for evolutionists of the [[Question evolution! campaign]])<ref>[http://creation.com/15-questions 15 questions for evolutionists]</ref><ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/10/evolutionist-posers-naive-evolutionists.html Naive evolutionists, evolutionist poseurs and the headlights of the Question Evolution! Campaign]</ref>
